Editors of The Wall Street Journal Will Select Global Leaders

MUMBAI (August 04, 2008) ―Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, will launch The Global Dow, an index whose components are selected by the editors of The Wall Street Journal.

The launch of this new icon was unveiled today by Rupert Murdoch, chairman and chief executive of News Corporation in Mumbai, India. Dow Jones Indexes is a business unit of Dow Jones & Company, a News Corporation company (NYSE: NWS, NWS.A; ASX: NWS, NWSLV).

Mr. Murdoch said: "The world is changing and how we measure that change economically and financially is clearly a challenge and an opportunity. We have seen a reweighting of risk around the world, but the world itself is being economically rerated and so we need an index that allows investors to take advantage of these changes. Indian companies will obviously have a place in The Global Dow as will companies from other emerging countries where we have seen an unprecedented economic emancipation over the past two decades."

Robert Thomson, managing editor, The Wall Street Journal said, "While we must reflect the global stock market as it is, we must also recognize the rapid rise of companies in countries such as India. We have already seen great Indian companies acquiring famous brands such as Jaguar and Land Rover, but these developments are just the beginning of a long-term trend that will fundamentally change the international corporate landscape. As with the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the component choices for the new index will be based on the editorial judgment of the world�s leading business journalists, that is Dow Jones journalists."

The Global Dow will track the share prices of existing and future global leaders in every industry. Vigorous companies from emerging economies will be included along with companies from emerging sectors such as alternative energy.

CHICAGO (July 29, 2008) ― The Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Total Return Index is up 12.01% so far this year. Leading commodity analysts provided their market outlook for the rest of 2008 this morning at the seventh annual Dow Jones Indexes Commodity Outlook, hosted by CME Group.

Oil prices may have reached their peak for now

"Declining oil prices in recent weeks due in part to weakened U.S. demand and increased global output have provided relief to consumers after the string of record highs we've experienced in the first half of 2008. The questions on people's minds are 'has the oil bubble finally burst' and 'if so when will we see a return to double-digit prices?' We should see oil prices reach $99, heating oil at $250 and RBOB close at $220 before the end of the year," said Phil Flynn, vice president and senior market analyst, Alaron Trading Corporation, Chicago.

Global grains supply expected to rise in second half of 2008

"Soaring energy and food prices are a forgone conclusion that realistically can�t be reversed without a global recession. However, contrary to popular belief, historically high grain prices will bring on more supply than was expected in early 2008, especially as profitability stimulates productive efforts worldwide," said David C. Hightower, president and founder, The Hightower Report, Chicago.

Gold prices will continue to soar into 2009

"Gold continues to be used as a vehicle to hedge inflation and a store of value in uncertain times. In an environment with high crude oil prices, a historically weak dollar and fragile world economies, gold should trade at the high end of its recent range and make new highs into 2009," said Charles Nedoss, senior account manager, Peak Trading, Rosenthal Collins, Chicago.

The Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index, a diversified and highly liquid benchmark for the commodities markets, is composed of futures contracts on physical commodities and was introduced in 1998.

New indexes to serve as benchmarks for performance of infrastructure securities worldwide

NEW YORK and TORONTO, ONTARIO (July 14, 2008)—Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, and Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (NYSE: BAM, TSX: BAM.A, Euronext: BAM:A), a global asset management company focused on property, power and infrastructure assets, today announced the launch of the Dow Jones Brookfield Infrastructure Indexes, a global index series designed to serve as benchmarks of companies that are owners and operators of key infrastructure assets such as toll roads, pipelines and ports. The new index family includes a composite index and sub-indexes for four regions and eight sectors.

The Dow Jones Brookfield Infrastructure Indexes includes benchmark indexes to gauge active infrastructure portfolios as well as blue-chip indexes that can underlie financial products.

“As the global infrastructure industry—which is the backbone for the provision of essential products and services for the world economy – continues to expand in response to increasing population and demographic shifts, there is a greater demand among investment professionals for high-quality benchmarks that accurately reflect this burgeoning asset class. The Dow Jones Brookfield Infrastructure Indexes can be used by institutional investors as measurement tools to gauge the performance of their infrastructure portfolios. The indexes also can be customized to meet the needs of market participants who are interested in specific areas, such as electricity transmission or toll road companies,” said Michael A. Petronella, president, Dow Jones Indexes.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with an industry expert in Dow Jones,” said Kim G. Redding, head of Brookfield’s infrastructure securities platform.

“We believe this is an exciting time in the evolution of infrastructure as an asset class. Investor interest and investment opportunities have increased dramatically in recent years, fuelled by the enormous need for infrastructure across the globe and shrinking government budgets, the traditional source of funding for these assets. From an investment perspective, infrastructure assets offer a combination of predictable and growing cash flows, inflation-linked revenue and a low correlation to traditional asset classes.”

The new index series includes the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index, Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Composite Index, which includes master limited partnerships (MLPs); regional sub-indexes for the Americas, Europe, Asia/Pacific and Global ex U.S.; eight global sector sub-indexes, and the Dow Jones Brookfield Infrastructure MLP Index, which tracks MLPs only.

To be eligible for inclusion in the Dow Jones Brookfield Infrastructure Indexes, a company must have a minimum float-adjusted market capitalization of US$500 million as well as a minimum three-month average daily trading volume of US$1 million. Securities also must be domiciled in a country with a liquid market listing. More than 70% of cash flows must be derived from the development, ownership, lease, concession or management of infrastructure assets in the following sectors; airports, toll roads, ports, communications, electricity transmission and distribution, oil and gas storage/ transportation, and water. Also eligible are diversified companies that derive at least 70 percent of their cash flow from infrastructure assets as well as investment funds with a primary focus toward infrastructure investments.

As of July 11, 2008, the 5-year performance of the Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index is 15.05%.

The Dow Jones Brookfield Infrastructure Indexes are reviewed quarterly in March, June, September and December. The indexes are calculated in price and net total return, in U.S. dollars, euros, Canadian dollars and Australian dollars. The Dow Jones Brookfield Global Infrastructure Index is available in real time while end-of-day data is available for the other Dow Jones Brookfield Infrastructure Indexes. Estimated daily back-tested history is available back to December 31, 2002.

This is the first pure African index to be used as underlying for an ETF.”

“One of the main advantages of the Dow Jones Africa Titans 50 Index is the fact that it also includes companies that are not headquartered or based in Africa, but generate more than 50% of their revenue there,” said Jan van Eck, principal, Van Eck Global. “The investor has the chance to invest in a pan-African portfolio while at the same time participating in the high liquidity and performance of international securities.”

The index is calculated in U.S. dollars (USD), and reviewed annually in June. Quarterly updates of float factors and shares are performed, in which eligible IPOs are added. These IPOs must list one month in advance of the review to be eligible for consideration at the quarterly update.
